So let me get this straight, the missile scientists are being forced to make their missiles more accurate/lethal because they need to either carry little weight to farther distance or more weight to a smaller distance?[/quote]

Correct.

This is, I think, good because the missiles are deadlier compared to the rest.

What do you mean? In my view there is nothing good for India in this setting.



BARC's big bums with little Oomph makes it very expensive for India to field a credible deterrence; because India need 5-10 time more warheads and accordingly those many time more missiles / submarines to deliver required Kilo-tonnage yield on target; further those missiles need to be 3 time bigger (heavier) to be able to deliver those heavy warhead payload to full range so that deterrence can be projected to any nation that cares or dares to challenge Indian security.

However, the timidness of GOI makes my blood to a boil. If indeed the tests were a failure, then they should go ahead and test another batch - it assumes all the more importance because of "no-first-use" doctrine.

Boil it does !
